' relates tocosmetic' pencil car riers and refers particularly todevices" of this character:in which a cosmetic pencil and a mirror maybesimultaneously employed 6 without'disengaging the pencil from the'd'evice. V

roper "application of penmer t of a mirrorfi'nj order that the user may1:0 be aware ofthe manner in which she is mak-' ing'snchapplication. H e

This. has usually been accomplished by means of, a mirror and a cosmeticpencil um connected with each other, requiring the, use

" ofboth hands', one to hold the. mirror andthe other hand toapply thepencihfandkitiis vi ent that adevice that W111 a it theuser toaccomp'lish the desired result by the use A of one hand onlywoulfdbe ofgreat value and A o pa t s is h gh yds b e n d vices oit this character,the use g'of separate mirrorand a. separate pencil; isiobj'ectionable.The. use of separate elements'is 'further ob ijectionable because of theliabili y of one to become lost, thus rendering the other'elementuseless for thedesired purpose.

Another objectionable feature ofthedescribed devices is that thecosmetic-pencil holder must have a cover for its open end in order toprotect the exposed end of the penoil, which cover must be'large enoughto cover the operating slot of the holder to prevent dust and dirt fromfinding access therethrough and thus contaminating the pencil..

ofthe above, and other, objectionable features and presents a compactdevice of insepprotected from contamination and which contains both amirror and a pencil capable of coordinate use while employing but onehand; i

In the'accompanying drawings illustrating one form of the device of myinvention similar partsare designated by similar numerals.

Figure 3 is a section through the line 3-3 of Figure 1. v

Figure 4 is section through the line 4-4 of Figure 1. I *Figure' '5 is'a view of my device in open position, the extended position of thecosmetic-pencil. andco-acting parts being shown iili'dotted, linesand'indicated by prime numera s.

' The particularformof the device of my invention shown in theaccompanying drawings comprises a cosmetic pencil-carrying member havingthe base 10,the rear fiangell and the'endfianges 12 and 13. A fixedplate 14 is spaced slightly from the base 10. Pivotally attached at 15to the plate. 14 and capable of being positioned within thepencilcarrying member is a pencil container 16, open atits free end 17and having alon'gitudinal slot18 therein. VVithin thepencil'container'16 is a cosmetic pencil 19 carried by thelongitudinally movable cup 20 having a button'21 extended through theslot 18 to allow ofthe longitudinal movement of the pencil Ainirror-carrying member comprises the base; 22 having the front flange23,1the rear flange 24. and the end flanges 25 and 26, the rear flange24 being hingedly attached to the rear flange ll of the penciLcariier, amirror, orrefiecting material, 27 is carried upon the inner face of thebase 2 2.

v In the device shown, the front edge of the base 10 abuts upon theupper. edge of the front flange 23, when the deviceis in'closed"position.

' shape, number or arrangement of parts as illustrated and described astheseare given simply as a means for clearly describing the ror-carryingmember upon their hinged connection.-

The operation of the device is as follows 2-- The device when closed isin the position shown in Figures 1 to 4 inclusive, with the device.

pencil. container being positioned within the When it desired to use thecosmetic-,

pencil, the device isopened, the pencil container 16' is pivotallyrevolved until it assumesthe position 16 in F igures5 and 6, and thecosmetic pencil 19 extended from within the pencil container by movingthe.

button 21. 1 v The mirror-carrying member is then inclined to such anangle, that when the pencil 19 is applied to the lips of the user, the 0eration will be visible within the mirror 2%. The stops 31 and 32 may beso positioned that when the device is in fully opened poprotected fromdust or contact with other surfaces and in which the operation of theappliction of the pencil can be viewed while holding the device in onehand.

device, therefore, comprises a cosmetic pencil and a mirror so combinedwith each other as to allow of their coordinate employment withoutdisengaging the pencil from the device. V c v I do not limit myself totheparticular size,
